Fall Leaf Pictures

After reading the book, "Leaf Man" by Lois Ehlert, we went outside and gather a variety of leaves.

When the children came in, we worked with them in small groups to create their own leaf pictures. We had pieces of contact paper cut and taped them, sticky side up, to the table. The children put their leaves on and then we put a piece of cardstock over it. When they turned it over, they could see their leaves and add the details using permanent markers.

We had word cards that they could use to write what their picture was if they wanted.

Other children simply dictated what their leaf pictures were and we wrote that down.

These leaf pictures will stay bright and colorful for years to come.
